At the same time as rich people make their wealth on the backs of poor people and workers they claim they are the ones who give most of themselves.
I had a funny experience once in Dublin.
I was living from hand to mouth, between homes, between jobs, survived on the odd translation job.. Walking from St. Stephen's Green up Dame Street to a soup kitchen, being out of cigarettes.
What I discovered is that no one in a suit with a full pack of smokes and one in the mouth with give one up. .They could afford it.. but chose not to.
Up at the soup kitchen, I got a meal, and found an old homeless geezer who rolled a smoke from the little he had left.,. I went up to him, and asked if he could spare a little of his tobacco even if he had hardly anything left himself.. I said "off course"..
That obserrvation taught me that the more you have, the richer you are, the less are the chances that you would give a dime in charity on the street, as a poor person has enough empathy to share the little he's got.
So I think it's amusing that conservatives who hates both taxes (yet love tax funded wars, and funding oil companies and bankers), are less prone to be charitable on a daily basis on small things, while poor person do have that empathy.
So I must admire how you thump your narcissistic chest, claiming you are more charitable, and more empathetic than us "evil leftists" who wants to "take your money" and give to the poor instead of using the funds on useful things, like bullets and bombs, prisons and border walls.
So when's the last time you had a dollar for a beggar on the street? When's the last time you gave up a smoke to a stranger?
